PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - Gov. Dan McKee announced Friday that taxpayers will spend $427 million to rebuild the westbound Washington Bridge by November 2028 - but that figure doesn't reflect the full cost of the project. A Target 12 analysis of monthly status reports, along with new documents released Friday, shows the total cost of the infrastructure crisis has grown to $571 million, a roughly 21% increase compared to estimates from nearly one year ago.
